TOOL-CARRIER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 21, 1914.

Application filed April 17, 1913. Serial No. 761,746.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ARTHUR C. PARK- nUnsr, acitizen of the United States, residing at Vaukegan, in the county ofLake and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Tool-Carriers, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention has for its object to pro-.

vide a novel and improved tool carrier which may be rolled up into smallcompact form, and which. will hold a large number of tools, and to thisend the invention consists in a novel coml'iination and arrangement ofparts to be hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had tothe accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of thecar perspective View of the carrier rolled up. Fig. 3 is a cross sectionof one end of the carrier unfolded.

Referring specifically to the drawing the carrier comprises a sheet 5 ofleather or other flexible material, having at one end a cylindricalcompartment around which the sheet is adapted to be rolled. Thecompartment is'formed, by circular end walls 6 c0- inciding with thelongitudinal edges of the sheet, one end of the sheet being secured tothe end walls, so as to form one half of the side wall of thecompartment. The

parts may he sewed together or otherwiseconnected. A small sheet 7 ofleather is sewed to the sheet 5 and the-remaining portions of the walls6 so as to form the other half of the side wall of the compartnient. Thesheet 7 overlaps the end of the sheet 5. Access to the interior of thecompartment is had by "bulging out the edge portion of the sheet 5 whichis opposite the free end of the sheet 17. After thetools or otherarticles have been placed in the compartment the flap formed by the freeend of the sheet 7 is lapped over the opening to cover the same. I

The sheet 5 extends from the end con1- partment, and has sewed orotherwise, se-

cured to its face a plurality of pockets 8, arranged side by side in tworows, and to the sheet are also secured straps 9 Which extend from thefree end thereof. Buckles 10 are provided for securing the straps. Theend compartment is designed to hold large tools, "like hammers, saws,etc., as well. as small accessories as bits of wire, solder, etc,renches, shears and other tools may be placed in the pockets 8. Afterfilling the carrier, the sheet 5 is rolled around the end compartment,the entrance to which latter is thus closed, and the sheet is thensecured by the strap 9 and the buckles 10. The carrier is thus given acylindrical shape, and a neat appearing, co1npact handle is had. A bitbrace ll'may be used as a handle by fastening the same under the straps9.

I claim:

A carrier comprising a cylindrical compartment composed of end walls, aflexible sheet. secured to and extending between the end walls to form aportion of the side wall. of the compartment, a sheet secured to oneside of the first-mentioned sheet and to the end walls of thecon'nnirtment to form the rel'i'iaining portion of the side wall of saidcompartment, said second-n'ientioned sheet having a projecting flapadapted to over lap the end of the flexible sheet which forms theportion of the side wall of the compartn'ient, the other end of said.flexible sheet extending from the compartment and I adapted to be rolledtherearound and over the aforesaid flap. means for holding thefiexiblesheet in rolled up position, and pocketson the inner side of theprojecting portion of the flexible sheet.

In testimony whereof I ailix my signature in presenceof two witnesses.
